Salaan... Eebbe baa qofka nasab ka dhigay, oo sharaf ugu hibeeye, qof ka qaadi karana ma jirto. No human person on this Earth 0.50 ayaa tahay la dhihi karo ma jiro. Wax aqliga galaayana ma'aha. Justice served I say. I could never get this .5 that the TFG has put forth... This formula 4.5 was originally formatted at shirkii Carte where there was a bit deadlock, and the rumour goes it was at first suggested by Ismaaciil Cumar Geele to ease the tension, which, unfortunately, was blindly followed by the delegates, including the few learned individuals at present. Some others also say it came up in shirki Qaahiro at 1997, but was rebuffed, particularly by the few then powerful dagaal-oogiyaal iyo dhiigyocab. Regardless who came up with this flawed logic, the idea is indeed beyond absurd.

Jabkooda jecliyaa.

Salaan... Watching this song video clip from late 1980s reminded me waayo waayo, walaahi. This Talyaani guy [i think he was half Soomaali] singing in Soomaali [actually, he was lip-syncing, where the real Soomaali singer was behind the scene] at Curuba brings fond memories. Marmar ayee telafashinka Xamar kasoo saari jireen. The song, a combination of Maay and Maxaatiri words, is about some people's love for this world and everything in it. Its lyrics, if I am not mistaken, goes: Diinleeya [adale] Diinleeya [adale] Diinleeya [adale] Diinleeya [adale] Diinleeya [adale] Adduunyadaan la deeri la waayee Deeqi iyo maal Darajo lan [nin] diido la waayee Malagii ni dili jiray sidiisiyo Ii Aakhiro lan doona la waayee Diinleeya [adale] Diinleeya [adale] I duleysadee I duleysadee Caashaquun i duleysadee Alle i daawee _______________ Diinleeya, as is in googaa, is presaid when one is going to ask a big philosophical question; adale is cadale.

Nice sawiro. Dankis for sharing. I particularly became fond of this, even short of saving as a desk-top screen saver. PS, Gathering from the few pictures, I don't see any diracs, guntiinos, kuul, tooreey, labada go' cad ee nimanka, koofi barawaanis exhibited. Next time, I hope.

Salaan... Marba marka ka dambeyso ayee kaa yaabiyaan. Yaab iyo nus marmar. Who are these three frightened men, including the elder in the middle? Waxaa lagu qabtay, allegedly, xashiish iyagoo gadaayo ama ma ganacsanaayo. The result was publically karbashing of the three at the former famous Suuqa Dahablaha. Fine if it is in fact wax xun galabsadeen. However, take a closer look at that picture above? Obviously, an experienced Soomaali eye can detect two of them belonging Jareerweyne clan, while the odeyga in the middle wearing a Muriidi Goolof-stamped t-shirt, obviously looks Banaadiri. [To read more on the story, here] Always dadka aan hubeyneen ayaa la dulmiyaa. Always. Faradheer jaadka ka ganacsado oo hundreds of thousands maalin walba keeno Xamar qof la hadasho maleh, of course since some of wadaad ku sheeg's erstwhile warlord-supporting militia cuno bahalkaas xun. One should apply drug laws equally or hala iska dhaafo masaakiinta oo nolol maalmeedkooda aanba soo saaran karin.

Maxee yihiin hadee maleeshiyo ahayn? Mise micnaha ereyga 'maleeshiyo' oo Ingiriis kasoo jeedo ayaaba la iska ilooway. Ar waa kibreen, waliba qooq ku darsaday. Aragaane qooqaas meeshuu gaaro. Power iyo bini aaden wax isku fiican ma'aha, oo bini aaden si sahal ayuu ku kibraa, ooba is iloowaa wuxuu ahaan jiray. Waran laboodkaan waaba kasii daran yihiin.

The trio dhoof jaceyl had set a record. For the longest time since la magaacabay they have been in the country -- together. They have been in the country for more than a month and half. Unbelievable nooh. Laakiin dano weyn ayee u joogaan, each suspicious the other, each ku mashquul qorshihiisa gaarka ah ayaa meesha ku reebtay iyo xaalada cusub kasoo cusboonaaday gobollada qaarkood. Waala arki doonaa inay labo bilood ku gaarayaan dalka gudihiisa, though Shariifka is threatening this newly set record by trying to fly to Khartuum, via, of course, our unofficial magaalo madax, Neyroobi.

Widaayoow, I don't want to debate the difference between wadaada ku sheega and dagaal-oogiyaashii la jibiye, due to respecting this thread ku saabsan masaajidkaan sharafta lahaan jiray, stillna leh. Sawirkaan ayaaba caashaqay runtii. Ma ogeyn Guriga Ummada iyo Isbaheysiga inay saan iskaga soo horjeedaan. Waan ogaa inay isku meel ku yaaleen, laakiin saan inay isku fiirinayaan ma ogeyn. Xudunta Xamar meeshaan wali bilicsan ayee ahayd, weyna ahaan doontaa Eebbe ha idmee.

Waa salaamantihiin aqiyaartiin. Xaniifa adiga mar walba noo ganbo. [Waa ku ogaa, laakiin inaa ku qarxiyo ma rabin nooh. ] Bishaarana waxee tiri 'rimmey' micnaheeda waxaa waaye wax uureystay. Rawlana 'qurbac' waxee ku sheegtay geelka wiilkiisa. Sharaxdiina saas uguma dheeraa fasiraada buugga ku qoran, oo qatar aaba tihiin. Rawla gaal ee raaci jirtay laakiin Bishaaro aa iga yaabisay oo mooday iska ciyaal magaal. Jawaabta: Rimmey = Neef dhalaya oo aan soo sed dhaweyn[Koleey see u sharaxday walaasheen ayee u eg tahay, oo neef markaas uur qaaday.] Qurbac = Rati habartii ku irmaan [saa u qaatay waxaan u maleyaa in laga wado geelka wiilka aan wali qaangaarin, waana see walaasheen kale sheegtay.] Faqa = Hadalka hoos la iskugu sheego; hadal af dhag u saarida Fiidda = Fiinta [Waa see sheegtay walaasheen.] Casharka maanta: Heyjad Sibraar Nayaayiro

Nice to see interior of masaajidka Isbaheysiga still in tight and its beautiful original decoration. Goormee reer surwaalgaab magaca ka badali doonaan taloow? Some 'abuu' ayee ugu magac dari doonaan yaa ogaado.

Soo dhaaf, macalinka. Wixii ku anfaco dhan koleey meeshaan waa laga wada helaa, sida qare, isbaandheys, raqeey, seytuun iyo wixii lamid ah oo la wada shiiday. Yaa askari u tahay laakiin?

Hambalyo iyo boggaadin. Laakiin shaleey lee guurka ahaa oo Xamar ka dhacaaye, ee shimee adi aaday meeshaas, mise already Landhan ee timid, via Addis Ababa. Darn, that is fast nooh. [ , kaftan macalinka.]

Muqdisho (PP) - Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya iyo Midowga Maxkamadaha Muqdisho ayaa waxay sheegeen inay labduba inay ka qaybgalayaan shirka lagu Sudan oo lagu wado inuu dhawaan ka furmo Magaalada Khartoum ee dalka Sudan. "Annagu waxaan go'aan ku gaarnay inaan ka qaybgalno shirka Sudan, innagoo eegayna danta shacabka Soomaaliyeed" ayuu yiri Sheekh Shariif Sheekh Axmed maanta isagoo la hadlayay warbaahinta dibadda dalka. Warkaan oo u siiyay Sheekh Shariif Website-ka Allafrica ayuu ku sheegay in ay go'aankooda ay ku gaareen inay ka qaybgalaan shirka Sudan uu yahay mid ay ugu daneynayaan shacabka Soomaaliyeed balse aysan cid kale ugu daneynayn. "Waxaan ka qaybgalaynaa shirka Khartoum oo aan la hadlaynaa Maxkamadaha innagoo aan wax shuruud ah ku xirayn" ayuu sidoo kale C/raxmaan Diinaari u sheegay isla webkaas, waxaana uu caddeeyay in go'aankaan uu yahay mid ugu daneynayaan shacabka Soomaaliyeed. Dowladda iyo Maxkamadaha ayaa u muuqda inay ku daaleen diidmo fara badan oo ay dhowr jeer ku diideen ka qaybgalka shirkii lagu waday inuu ka furmo Sudan 15-kii Bishii July kaasoo ahaan lahaa wajigii labaad ee Shirka, balse wxuuu soo gaaray 15-ka bishaan oo maanta ku beegnayd, balse dib mar kale loo dhigay. Arrintaan ayaa waxaa si weyn u soo dhaweynaya dowladaha daneeya Arrimaha Soomaaliya iyo Shacabka Soomaaliyeed, waxaana ay tani ka dhigaysaa tallaabo horumar leh oo ay labada dhinacba horay u hijiyeen.

Waa riyoonee, saaxiib. Indhamadoowe iyo xulafadiisa abdicating and leaving Shabeellaha Hoose is like Bushists abandoning Ciraaq peacefully. Dadkaas xoog ayee ku qabsadeen, xoog in loogu qaado ayee sugayaan, and that reckoning day will come, of course. Tyrants, drug barons and bloodsuckers iyo wixii lamid ah only know one thing: Qori caaradiis.

Salaan... Reer Shabeellaha Hoose and Jubbooyinka had three day conference, arranged and facilitated by urur lagu dhisay qurbaha, gaar ahaan Mareykanka last year. This shir was held at tuulo kamid ah Awdheegle, in the heart of Shabeellaha Hoose. Qodobadii kasoo baxay waxaa kamid ahaa: In waddanka lagu dhaqo shareecadda Islaamka oo ah shayga keli ah oo lagu heli karo xuquuqul insaanka Shareecada Islaamka waa in ay noqotaa wax kasta Waddanka laga sameynaayo. In beelkasta xaq u yeelato in ay sameysato maamulka Degaankeeda oo lagu fara gelinin. In si deg deg ah loo dhiso maamul madax banaan oo beelaha ka samaystaan deegaankooda. In hatida la kala dhacay laysu celiyo siiba kuwa Maguurtada ah Soomaalidana ay is cafiso. In la joojiyo xaalufinta dhirta iyo daaqa sida ugu dhaqsi badan. In laga ilaaliyo wixii badda berrigaba dhibaato u keeni kara oo kheyraadka laga heli lahaa dhibaateeyo sida sunta lagu daadiyo xeebaha waddanka. In la joojiyo dhoofitaanka dhuxusha iyo duur joogta waddanka lana mamnuuco beerida maandooriyayaasha iyo ka ganacsigooda. [Will Indhamadoowe and cohorts listen?] In lagu wareejiyo talada gobollada koonfurta dadka u dhashay. In la tixgeliyo xuquuqul insaanka iyo shareecada islaamka la hor keeno ciddii xadgudub ku samaysa cid kale shaqsi ahaan ama beel ahaanba. In la dhowro deriswanaaga mid beeleed, mid degmo iyo mid goboleedba lana ilaaliyo xeerarkii soo jireenka .ahaa In maamul iyo gudiyo gaar ah loo dhiso oo beelkasta ay iska dhexarkikarto oo cilmiyaysan oo ka kooban wax garad wadani ah. In wada hadal la furo oo u dhexeeyo Maxkamadaha iyo Dawlada si looga maarmo ciidan shisheeye. Xigasho ________________ This shir took meel uu ka nominally ka taliyo Indhamoowe, so the criticism is diplomatically mild and indirect as you can see. Reer Shabeellaha Hoose and Jubbooyinka waa dad nabad jecel because historically centuries ago ayee dagaal eber iskaga dhigi jireen, so now ka door biday nabad iyo deris wanaag, oo qabyaalad u dagaalan iyo waxaas kale iskala weyn. Otherwise mar horee is xureyn lahayeen. But they are changing their views now that the fake wadaad Indhamadoowe and cohorts ain't going to no where unless forcefully loogu bixiyo deeggaankaas.

What is up with ciidan dress? Though he is a military man, never seen him in camouflage. Perhaps it has to do with xaalada qalafsan Mudug ka socdo these days.

Salaan... One more good reason why caano geel [wan gaal, lest you are wondering] is good for you. It was on Toronto Star on the other day. ______________ Camel's Milk The Key To Virility? Virmaram Jat, of India, has a libido that could put Hef's to shame. The 88-year-old farmer, who just fathered twins, has never heard of Viagra but has intercourse every day, and plans to do so until death. He attributes his virility to long walks, vegetarianism, and drinking 2-3 liters of camel milk a day. Jat lives with his two wives in a mud hut and scoffs at the notion of slowing down. Sex is natural, he contends, "there should be an urge within you to enjoy a full life... I do it daily and the best time for intercourse is between 2 am and 4 am." Xigasho More

Salaan... YoYoMa, haye, Koronto ayaa timid miyaa? Laakiin I don't think any part of this city can be fairily labelled 'ghetto,' the ghetto that usually comes to mind, especially Mareykan-style ghetto. Koronto is much safer, cleaner and decent than any comparable American cities [even less ones like Detroit, Buffalo, Atlanta, Miami, San Diego, Columbus, Baltimore, etc], which I myself had seen few. It also got well-connected public transportation system that is fairly used by all sectors of public. The areas that remotely can be considered ghetto may have been intersections of Jane/Finch [which you never suspect as a ghetto while you're standing there] and Jamestown of Rexdale. Yes, Soomaalida wey degan yihiin those areas, laakiin badankooda waxeyba degan yihiin saraha dhaadheer ee Dhigsan [Dixon] iyo Albiyoon [Albion], unless you consider Dhigsan to be a ghetto. Hardly think so. They are also in jealousy mood these days, buying houses in Greater Toronto Area, particularly Brampton and Mississauga, since hebel/heblaayo did. Fancy new houses, I tell ya, with, yep, help from heavy interest rates. And about maqaayada Xamdi. Soomaali hadaan nahnay faraha ayaan ka qaadnay. War the darn place is busy the 12 hours it is open, occupied by mouth-watering ajnabi meel laga galo jirin oo cunto Soomaali jeclaaday. Only now qof marti markuu kuu yahay ayaa inaa geysid ma'ahee, otherwise in dadka cusub laga xayiro reer Koronto waa u dhaafeen since it is über-success business story, never seen achieved in qurbo business that is run by Soomaali. [Tell me any maqaayad run by Soomaalis that is computerized. LoL. Xamdi is.] Xamdi truly is fascinating story about Soomaalida qurbajooga, perhaps I should run a feature story, interviewing the founders, who no longer can be seen or work from the interprise.
